When it comes to big project of Multi-storey building, client might decide to supply some final fittings like light fittings, switches, socket, sanitary fittings and HVAC equipment. But the first fix and second fix materials will be procured by the MEP contractors.

Yes, that’s why I said procurement methods too.

Seems MEP is your forte, well done engineer.

topsy23:
Yes you are right. Value engineering is to give alternative option that can work effectively but at reduced cost. But changing the specification too can also reduce cost i.e using TRAINS or YORK as a substitute for Daikin, Panasonic, LG, Mitsubishi product,. On electrical you can change all light fittings spec from THORN or PHILIPS to average range of fittings in the market. Plumbing from HENCO pipes to PPR, Lowara pumps to Grundfos.... Etc weldone QS Tope

You’re right as well.

Sure….and as I have often heard, if value engineering saves you more than 30% cost, it’s mostly a case of faulty design. I’ll rather specifications, as large quantity can save a lot. Even procurement methods as well.

topsy23:
The VRF and Ducted system /central AC is being used these days, most of the big hotels in Lagos, Abuja, PortHarcourt are using the VRF/Ducted system. The only people that install the conventional type (high wall unit) on highrise building are developers because of the cost. VRF / Ducted system is more expensive but at the long run it saves energy.

If you visit banana island in Lagos you will a lot of residential building with VRF system.

Not just banana island, some other parts of Lagos island too, even banks, especially high rise buildings.

People just avoid because it’s more expensive to put together and if you’re a not building a commercial development, it’s not so advisable.

As a QS, when we have meetings for value engineering, thats sometimes the first thing to go…since cheaper cost can give close to same outcome. Na to just get standing AC choke the building.

Hello Allz

Please I need your advice. I just bought an iPhone 14 pro max for one of my client (one of the services I render). He is based in Shagamu.

He wants me to send through driver.... But i am scared, phone is worth over 800k and I am just scared of giving it to drivers. I have delivered laptops to outside state but not up to this value.

Please who has any idea on how I can dispatch this to him without zero risk of theft or whatsoever


Your advice will be greatly appreciated

Use logistics company like GIG or Libmot, they will charge you based on the worth but you can go to bed without even remembering you sent an item. Nothing will even happen to it.

Dijita:
Good morning everyone.
Please don't turn this place into just advertising board only and bury one of the most quality feature of this forum. I posted request for help since yesterday no one bother to comment on it.

Give the details, what’s the measurement in perimeters and intended height.

That can help to cross check.

Happy new month

Hello

…

Hi

topsy23:
He is asking for rough estimate. Might be ±5 or 10%

The problem them asking for cost estimate through description is that they will want to use it as a base for others, even when scope might change.

A more accurate estimate can only be done when you have a plan already, even if it’s just the floor plan.

A cost estimate by description is a route to major error.

Hi

DREAMHOUSE765:
I just haveva feeling that the person am using that works in the officehas jackedthese prices ip.
I have no way of confirmingif these are real or not whoch is veryfrustrating

It’s correct, for that stage certification, it’s now 70% of the building processing fee and not 35%, 35% x 2 = 70%. that’s they asked you to pay twice. It’s to Lagos state, not to an individual.

That’s part of the hike I am saying, I just found that out this year too.

Hello

DREAMHOUSE765:
I haven't even laid a single block and am being scammed.

How can I pay over 10.5m for building approval?

1, building processing fee..3,115,941.82
2, stage certification
A......1,090,579.46
B.......1, 090,579.46
3, tax 3,000,000 for 2 people.

Total= 8,297,100.74
Then-

Lupar 550
Authorization 1m
Running fee 900
Total 2.450m.

The property is only a semidetached house with 2 floors in AjaH.

Pls can anyone verify these?

LABSCA just jacked up their prices these past few weeks and it’s disturbing.

You need to have someone who works in their office directly that you can meet, not people loitering around, real staffs.

That’s the only way you can be sure of what you pay.

DREAMHOUSE765:
Hi hope, how does your service work? As in fees , and how long to complete?

It’s quite affordable, and the documents depends on how complex your drawing is.

I can assure you of fast turnaround once all details have been sorted.
